Assume everyone has more enjoyable activities lined up for lunchtime when Tim Wilson is at the NPC... multiple teeth extractions, scrubbing the shower with a toothbrush, staring at a concrete wall 😬 #asupol

Sometimes, sorely needed social & progressive legislation takes an inordinate amount of time to enact due to an abundance of caution. If the Environment is a delicate area to address, Tertiary education is not — past legislative actions which f**ed the system were quick enough to be enacted without much consultation (if any at all, as the JRG disaster shows).
“The Productivity Commission joined the call for a “new funding model as a priority” given the “design flaws” of Job Ready Graduates. It said the “differences in student contributions by perceived labour market needs fail to meet their goals while arbitrarily increasing debt burdens on some students”. The Accord’s final report in February 2024, highlighting this unfairness, found the student fee structure needs to be replaced.
The government has yet to act on this. Instead, students must wait for the newly established Australian Tertiary Education Commission to design a new funding and fees model.”

I do not understand how one can champion ‘the rule of law’ and at the same time condone an illegal act. It just doesn’t make sense, Penny #Wong does not make sense (It must be killing her inside I wager).BOO to the #Australian govt, yes, looking at you #AlboPM for not having the guts to stand by your avowed principles just because, you know… fear, dependency, hypocrisy, (add terms as appropriate).

It was one of the better interviews of Adam I’ve hear in a long while. He stayed on point with every question. One thing I think he could’ve done better was to pull up the hosts on the ant-semitism question in order to clarify the differences between anti-semitism and the Israeli Netanyahu govt deliberate conflation of the term with criticism of his ultra-nationalist (Zionist) policies (genocide). But overall, he covered all questions very well. -
This was an interesting (short) read. On balance the author is square on the mark with his assessment of Australian attitudes towards the US military machine. Euan Graham and Bec Shrimpton of ASPI write:
"This sovereignty-based framing of Australia’s alliance with the US is an embedded feature of Australia’s strategic debate—more so than for other US allies. Expanding the footprint of US military forces excites unusually visceral reactions in Australia. This is odd given that Washington’s other allies in the Indo-Pacific and Europe routinely host far larger numbers of US forces, yet at the same time Australia styles itself as America’s most loyal ally."
There is more to AUKUS than nuclear boats which is much neglected in Media.

Housing minister will not rule out dumping $10 billion housing fund in favour of easier option
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-20/housing-minister-could-dump-fund-after-senate-failure/102498908
It was a stupid idea anyway, they just have to spend whatever is necessary wherever it is necessary whenever it is necessary instead of playing crazy neoliberal games with funds.
